“1832” (Circa 1858) Philadelphia Civic Procession Medal restrike. Musante GW-130-R2, Baker-160D. Copper. MS-65 RB (PCGS).
32.3 mm. 331.1 grains. Struck on a generously thick flan giving this example an impressive heft. Generous original coppery red remains on both sides while accents of soft orange and violet have formed on the reverse. An unusually attractive example of this restrike, from a slightly later state of the dies than seen on the silver example above. The crack from the rim through the IVER of ANNIVERSARY is bolder, and a secondary crack has formed from its tip through the TE of CENTENNIAL. A cud has formed through the dentils left of WASHINGTON. Struck in medal-turn orientation, but rotated about 30 degrees.
From the Sydney F. Martin Collection. Purchased from Heritage, via eBay, June 2006.
